In Brief. and to the,poiut

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food. sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry. late hours, Ir-
regular habits and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bus
mess and making the American people 80
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy. r....t
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dyspep-
tic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

rIneenth Century Poison maksr..

The number of poison makers must
have been considerable. We came across
''Queli dial yemen, - who lived on the Lago
di t;arda; the famous poison brewers, Pc
ter Paul, Of Padua; Master John and
Master Michele, Of Vicenza, and "Nostro
ildgl Nilandrino, - custodian of the garden
81 simples at Padua. The poisons which
tlu-r masters made were of two kinds
slow pOisons C'Veneni a tempo'D and
rapid pUtsons, and the manner of admin
istering thom was various. The method
most frequently in use was either poisoned
iH.ut or poisoned drink, and we have seen
proof made of the "Venenum edible" and
~ the "Venenum potabile'' upon two pigs
Ia the presence of the Ten. There were
other modes of poisoning, however, though
they were less commonly adopted. We
find instances. of nat favorlte Indian re-
c.ipt, pounded diamond. Again in the
year 1885, the French ambassador relates
10 the college an attempt on the life of the
king OF France by means of poisoned seals,
which had efrectually killed three slaves
on whom they had first been tried. And
in 1899 Caterina Sforza, mistress OF Forli,
which city Cesare Borgia threatened TO
take from her, attempted to poison Alex
auder vi by means of credentials which
her ambassador brought to his holiness
wrapped in scarlet cloth and placed inside
a hollow cane that they may not kill the
bearer.
These are cases of poisoning by touch.
We hear also of proposals to poison by
smell; Of little balls to be dropped on a
fire, and presently they will kill all who
are in the room. Nothing strikes us as
stranger about these poisons than their in
efficacy. In the year 1914 we find Villain
drino, one Of the most famous masters in
his day, sent for and told that, as the fire
at the palace had destroyed the poison,
cupboard and its receipts, he must furnish
some two or three more, and must sendin
the receipts along with his new poisons.
VilAndrino produced a poisoned water;
but when this came to be tried on a GER
tain Mustafa, he was zone the worse for
It. The Ten ordered n second dose; and
after waiting eight days with no more
satisfactory results they conclude in dis
gust that Vilandrino's water is worth
nothing, and send him back to Padua.-

a hollow eyed citizen who had been re-
PEELED from the Office of the subway com
mission sought comfort the other day by
submerging the Rambler in this brilliant
idea; 81 have a scheme, sir, for getting
the wires under ground, sir, that l sub
init is worthy of dignified consideration.
1t has but one imperfection. That one
imperfection Is that it includes no device
for laying a conduit. But it does provide,
l may say, sir, in a simple and effective
way for getting the wires into the conduit
when once made. You may ~know-you
don't?-well, l will explain that a COM
pick system of drawing wires now pre-
walls, taking up room and making trouble.
My plan obviates that. You are familiar,
my dear sir, with the strong antipathy
with which the ferret regards the rodent,
vulgarly called rat. By introducing a rat
into one of these miniature subterranean
tunnels, attaching a stout cord to a fer
ret's candle a~ppendage and starting him
in Immediately after the departure of the
rat, you can see how readily the desired
result might be accomplished. Should
the ferret gain so speedily upon the rodent
as to imperil his safety and the success of
the enterprise, a slight retention on the
cord would properly detain him. The rat
could be saved and used over again. -
